Haha, wow, I had not heard about this until now. WTF were they thinking? Casting one of the whitest white dudes currently working in Hollywood to play a Syrian assassin? Not to mention, the character is supposed to be in his mid-20s (at least, he was in "Altaïr's Chronicles"), whereas Fassbender is 35 and looks exactly his age - he's never been an actor who could play younger characters convincingly.

This is clearly an example of trying too hard to capitalize upon star power.

I wouldn't really mind it. I prefer Johnathan-Rhys Meyers for Altair and Henry Cavill for Ezio.

He's at least darker-skinned and, despite sharing a common ethnic heritage with Fassbender, he doesn't look nearly as stereotypically Irish. But I still think that an Arab character should be played by someone with actual Middle Eastern heritage (and, preferably, someone younger/younger-looking than 30).

That I would definitely get behind.

I'm so close to completing my Western Civ paper on Candide.

Oh shit, I just remembered that I'm horrible at writing conclusions

Taking my Nremt exam later today, hopefully i nock it out and get a nice job soon, if i get a nice job and obama is booted from office that would be a great end of year for me :)

My wife just asked me if we could be Christian Grey and Anastasia for Halloween. With a straight face. Wow.

As you can imagine, I've been speechless ever since.

Can I suggest some alternatives?

Ghost and Cottontail?


What it's a better love story that bot "Fifty shades" and "twilight".

After an incident invovling myself, vast quanities of bourbon, my fraternity paddle, and my girlfriend who was dressed as a school girl last halloween, the Lady has banned any mention of that book around me. I find it hilarious.

You know, my 6906 would be pretty concealable if the mags didn't have pinky rests on the floor-plates

Sure, please do. I'm kinda hoping she'll forget about it soon enough, but having alternatives suggestions might ensure that she will.

Haha, yeah, I can imagine that embarrassment would be sufficient to push anyone away from ideas involving Dominants and Submissives.

Unfortunately, my own Lady just read "50 Shades of Grey" a few months back and loved it, even after I pointed out some things about the author that I learned here on IMFDB.

Nick and Nora Charles
Bonnie and Clyde

That's all I have for now.

I believe we will be June and Ward Cleaver.

So, I officiailly crossed into troll terriritory on the Cracked.com forums. I posted our illustrious CINC's quote concerning bayonets and horses and was promptly ripped to shreads by the mod, one of whom said I knew nothing of the modern military. I laughed heartily to myself and went about my day. Think it's about time I pull the plug there.

passed my nremt exam, should be getting paperwork to submit for licencing soon.

Good job! Time to start hunting for a bus to ride around on.

I'm moving to an apartment in the next town over from where I live now. We've been having some minor problems with the current house, like light fixtures randomly bursting into flames when turned on. You know, small stuff. ;)

Is your new apartment nice? I want a nice apartment when my folks kick me out of my house.

You know, when someone wants to protest against something they don't agree with, more power to them. But at least have the balls to actually show your face in public instead of wearing a mask like a coward. :mad:

Yeah, very nice. Central heating and air, two-room bathroom (the sink in one room and the toilet and shower/tub in the other), small patio with sliding glass door, fairly good neighborhood.

Apparently they don't grasp that if they get nicked the mask is going to come off anyway.

According to current information if the US commander in Africa hadn't been releaved by his second in command for disobaying a direct order it would have looked more like this...

I don't delve into politics much, if at all, on this board, otherwise you guys might not like me anymore, but I hope against all hope, and prayed that the Good Lord will give General Ham the courage to come out and say exactly what happened that night before the election.

Oh, and on a lighter note, I would love one day to be sitting in front of the Senate Armed Service committee, a la Ollie North answering the following question:

"Sergeant, did you give the order and I quote, 'waste the motherfuckers', yes or no?"

"Madam Senator, you see in the heat of the moment, screw it, hell yes I did, and you know what you bitch, I would do it again in a heartbeat."

Woot! My new (used) PS2 is here! I'm so happy I could cry.

Currently wearing a Werewolf mask while dancing to Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London".

What are you guys doing for Halloween?

The same thing I do every night, etc.

Since no-one's interested in hearing me repeat that one again.

I was going to spend Halloween studying for a Western Civ test I thought I had tomorrow, but I took another look at the schedule and found that it's next Thursday. Now I think I'll either watch a movie or play some Xbox.

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you before: Feeling sorry for yourself gets you nowhere in life. Haven't you ever tried using Meetup.com at least once in your life?

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but what the hell, one of my Fraternity brothers got a job posting, good raise, promotion, housing allowance, company truck, everything.....in Billings, Montana.

He uprooted and moved out there, and after three months, and one massive elk, was hopelessly bored...and starved for female companionship.

He and is now engaged....to a girl he met on match.com

It's less bad than it was before considering I actually get out on a daily basis and interact with people.

Good. Now take a look at Meetup.com and find some groups to join, even for stuff you're already into (and if I recall, you're a pretty big "Stargate" fan, correct?) My favorites are the ones for bar-hopping and going to concerts. Right now, I am based part-time in the Washington DC area, and every time I come up to DC, I attend events where I RSVPed on Meetup beforehand.

paperwork went through, im a licenced emt now

Boosh! Now go shove a tampon up some kid's nose whether he needs it or not and look entirerly too srious as you do it.

I just noticed, while looking that the page for Black Ops 2, that some of the characters will be wearing Rhodesian Bush Camo.

I bet those guys will be terrorists in one way or another, so that camo pattern isn't really an appropriate choice

Isn't that supposed to be Jonas Savimbi? I remember hearing that Angola was one of the game's locations, but I had no idea it was during the civil war days.

How awesome, yet politically uncorrect, would it be to have a game where you start out in the SADF/Rhodesian Army fighting ANITA and then get hired by Excutive Outcomes?
